High society never changes. Even in the far-off distant future, parties for the rich and stupid are as fraught with danger as ever. However, when a spurned employee takes it upon himself to add tasers and threatening precursor artefacts to the mix, it's up to our morally ambiguous heroes to avert the danger.

Tackling a would-be domestic terrorist is the least of the crew's worries; Rufus makes an uncomfortable phone call, Xavier experiences withdrawals, and the Captain deals with some devastating trauma. What will the presence of the ever-growing Kaitish Armada have on the crew of The Dragon’s Wings in such trying times?

When the infamous Yegg Raiders employ the crew of The Dragon’s Wings to make an example of Kaite Armada pilot Wilbur Shuck, Rufus steps in. Double-crossing bloodthirsty pirates is generally never a good idea, but when heritage and pride is on the line, Captain Riley and Xavier are only too happy to help out...but at what cost?

As the best laid schemes o' fish an' men oft go unappreciated by the vast majority of Pirates, young pacifist Riley may have to come to acknowledge the harsher realities of space sooner than she may think. Our crew will have to figure out how to escape the bowels of the ship; whether or not that route will be paved in the blood innocents, well...that’s just up to the dice now isn’t it?

Everyone deals with accidental homicide in their own unique ways; Rufus experiments, Riley isolates and hacks, and Xavier does DIY. While recuperating, The Dragons Wings is visited by not one, but two new entities; one of which brings a tantalising job offer for the trio. Will Xavier let his past get in the way of cold hard credits, and what exactly has found its way onto the ship?

Having reluctantly accepted Trill’s job offer, our crew heads down to the desert planet Perish. Being heavily guarded by both the CCU and the Salvor's Lodge, figuring out a way to infiltrate Site P23 is the first task at hand. With the help of an old friend, Xavier, Rufus, and Captain Riley may just be able to hustle their way into the encampment unnoticed. However once inside - as always - all bets are off.

Attempting to con Agent Keesey is no easy task, but with Rufus and Xavier’s timely intervention, the Captain might just be able to pull through unharmed. However, this is the least of our crews worries. What exactly lies in the desert caverns below, and what makes it so dangerous that the CCU is willing to wipe the minds of all those involved?

With both Dr Quartz and her alien companion on board of the Dragon’s Wings, things are about to get very interesting. Safe from the watching eyes of the CCU and the Exvasi, Xavier is free to pry both guests for information to his heart’s content. Though, the one and only question Dr Rufus is faced with, is whether or not his Shrink Ray will ever be completed.

Before setting off on their next bounty our crew gets in on a little R&R on the planet Perish. Riley helps out Len with renovations to the ship, and Rufus works on a promising experiment in his lab. Despite being on a well deserved break, Xavier also finds a way to get his arse handed to him by Shixion yet again - much to the enjoyment of the rest of the crew.

It’s safe to say that Rufus will not be allowed into a bar anytime soon, at least not without a chaperone. Having gotten the intel they needed, our trio seamlessly penetrate the down and dirty (and very illegal) Mystic cage-fighting scene. Showmanship will only take the team so far: how will they fare when faced with challenges that run much deeper than blood?

With Ken'eve shrunken and down for the count, it’s only a matter of time before admin catches on to the team's ruse. After a quick patch-up from Rufus, a bruised and battered Riley is back on her feet and ready to get hacking. While Xavier distracts the crowds in all his sequined glory, can Rufus and Riley take down Totem fair and square?

The consequences of their actions are finally starting to catch up to the team; in the midst of a freshly bloomed war with the Yegg, downtime is limited. While good ol’ Len upgrades the ship, the crew of The Dragon's Wings tends to their wounds and work on upgrades of their own. But what fun is any of that without social awkwardness and questionable medical grade drug use?

Fully upgraded and healed, our crew sets off after their next big bounty: Bruno Graves, LITERAL underground black market dealer. Far below the depths of the surface of Perish lies an almost untouched replica of the city above, soaked in mysterious Way energy. With dozens of trigger happy Yegg guarding the dealer, stealth might not make the cut this time.

They’ve really done it this time folks. With an eviscerated Rufus stuck in an equally eviscerated hobby shop, Captain Riley and Xavier are going to have to think fast in order to save their friend before he comes to any more harm. We can only hope that the hordes of Yegg hot on their trails take their time finding the crew...because after all, you can only bleed out for so long.

After shrinking the Yegg pirates keeping guard at the undercity candy bar, the crew discover their bounty, Bruno, is suffering from the late stages of Waydiation poisoning. Meanwhile, on the surface, the CCU impound the ship along with everything and everyone inside. The crew will have to bust Dr Quartz, Shixion, and the ship out of lockup but not before they confront a bounty-hunting cyborg and its bloodthirsty... spine? This kind...

Away from immediate danger, there is finally a little downtime for a crew fighting an all-too-real sense of doom. They’ll be damned if they don’t make use of what little time they have. A haunted Rufus must pull himself and the rest of the crew together in order to prepare for both their upcoming rescue mission, and an impending galactic war.

Confronting Trill and the Exvasi appears to be decidedly more challenging than the team are willing to admit. It’s going to take more than a bit of traditional healing to get them ready, which means Rufus is going to have to get psychological and experimental on the crew's arses. When Captain Riley is contacted by the CCU she is faced with a devastating ultimatum: to put herself and the mission first, or to help Xavier with his feu...

Having just recovered from third-degree burns, Xavier confronts his old rival to strike a deal in exchange for Shixion. It's going to be tough bringing Trill back to the CCU alive as their meeting place, a truckstop diner, is filled with plainclothed Exvasi cultists, willing to sacrifice themselves for their enigmatic leader. Meanwhile, Riley, Rufus, and Quartz infiltrate Trill's ship in the hopes they find Shixion aboard. Inadvert...

Thinking on their feet, the crew manage to quickly extract their bounty - with only minor property damage trailing in their wake. Safely stowed away amongst the stars, Xavier takes the time to deepen his friendship with Shixon, with experiments of the culinary and educational kind. While Riley ties up a few loose ends, Rufus shuts himself off in his lab for a confrontational talk with this sister Ditha. It’s her turn to ask a favou...
